Twelve years after the big event, a young woman learned that her borrowed 8th-grade prom dress was actually a vintage designer gown by a star of Hollywood fashion! Balmain, Marc Jacobs, Harris Reid, Tamara Ralph, Richard Quinn, Danielle Frankel, Maison Margiela, Alexander McQueen, Versace, Vera Wang, and a slew of other big-name designers and fashion houses were seen on the recent garden-themed MET Gala red carpet. However, before all of these, there was Bob Mackie! RELATED: Teen Who Lost Her Mom Sobs When Friend's Mom Steps in to take Her Prom Dress Shopping Prom is a Time For Glitz and Glam In decades past, Mr. Mackie created clothing for Elton John, Cher, Carol Burnett, Whitney Houston, Marilyn Monroe, Diana Ross, and others. Recently, Zendaya and Miley Cyrus have worn Bob Mackie gowns. This is precisely how Ms. Stephanie Dovale knew that her bizarre discovery was so incredible. Proms are big days. They're often a girl's first opportunity to really dress up, which is not something girls do often in our casual culture. So, 8th-grade, junior, and senior proms are occasions for glitz and glam, fake nails, and high heels. Unfortunately, those "looks" come at high prices. Now a Miami, Florida art educator, Stephanie Dovale attended her 8th-grade prom a dozen years ago. Fortunately for her, she has a resourceful and fashion-savvy mom. Stephanie explained to Newsweek how her mother had found the perfect dress for the evening. "My mom, dad, and I are first-generation Cuban immigrants. We are not wealthy or rich by any means, and yet my mom has always found a way or connection to be able to dress my sister and I to look like a million bucks,” she said. Stephanie Got To Borrow a Designer Dress For Prom Stephanie shared that her mom was working as a nurse's assistant at a hospital at the time. She'd become friends with a Salvadorian co-worker whom she'd described as "petite, elegant, sweet, and extremely humble." According to Stephanie's mother, her co-worker was married to a wealthy man who spoiled her with lavish gifts in keeping with her tastes for designer items. She had a closet full of well-maintained designer bags, shoes, and accessories. She suggested that Stephanie borrow one of her dresses to wear for the prom.

Only recently did Stephanie learn the truth about the black and gold sequined dress she'd worn. While searching online for a maxi dress to wear for a special occasion, Stephanie ran across one that looked familiar. It Was the Same Dress The color and cut of the dress reminded her of the one she'd worn years earlier. Stephanie stated, “I frantically opened up Facebook to compare and make sure. Sure enough, it was the exact dress. I freaked out when I made the connection. I had only become familiar with Bob Mackie recently when I learned he was one of Cher’s main designers and was behind Miley Cyrus’ dress for her Grammys performance this year." Stephanie shared on TikTok the shock and surprise of discovering that she'd unknowingly worn a vintage Bob Mackie dress, now valued at $4,500, to an 8th-grade dance! Mom and daughter never knew that the dress lent to them by that sweet and extremely humble friend was a designer gown. Stephanie doesn't remember it ever being mentioned! "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full."

2024: First it was Disease X at the WEF, then Bird Flu and the WHO’s Pandemic Treaty. And we’re not even halfway through the year yet. If the last four years have taught us anything, it’s that corrupt global leaders will stop at nothing to extend their power. And the best way to achieve this is to manufacture crises, enact “emergency measures,” and deprive people of freedoms. It gets worse: the sad truth is that more WEF 2030 initiatives are on the way, like vaccine passports and 15-minute cities, all made possible through man-made viruses and prescription shortages. The desired future is one where people will become involuntarily reliant on the government, and ultimately depopulated. It is your personal responsibility to be prepared. Having access to life-saving medications is a God-given right for every American. Now, exercising that right is more important than ever, as globalists look more and more likely to continue to attack our crumbling healthcare infrastructure in order to harm us and deprive us of our freedoms.

Is it “horse paste” that could very well kill you? The Ivermectin Freak Out by our Government reminds me of the “War on Drugs” trying to convince you you’d surely die from marijuana — despite there never being a single confirmed case. Same goes for Ivermectin. They claimed it was “horse dewormer” that could “put you in a coma” or even kill you! How dangerous! Except….that wasn’t true. Not even remotely. In fact, it is one of the safest and most effective medicines we have. What a combo, right? SAFE + EFFECTIVE. You usually get one but not both. IF YOU WANT TO PURCHASE SAFE AND LEGAL IVERMECTIN, KEEP READING BELOW! Watch this short clip from the Greg Hunter Show, posted to Rumble by The Vigilant Fox, where Dr. Pierre Kory makes it very clear how stunningly safe Ivermectin is: Safer that aspirin! VigilantNews had more (I put my favorite part in bold): But first, a quick look at his impressive credentials. “Pr. Jacques Descotes, MD, PharmD, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Claude Bernard University of Lyon (France), [is] a world-known toxicologist with a 40-year track [record] as an independent consultant for the pharmaceutical industry as well as an advisor to regulatory bodies worldwide,” BusinessWire wrote. In March 2021, he conducted a review of Ivermectin’s safety profile based on over 350 articles – plus accessible web sources. Here are his conclusions: “Ivermectin has been administered orally to hundreds of millions of people throughout the world in the past three decades. The assessment of reported adverse events temporally associated with Ivermectin exposure shows that Ivermectin-induced adverse effects have so far been infrequent and usually mild to moderate. “It is noteworthy that no deaths have seemingly ever been reported after an accidental or suicidal overdose of Ivermectin. No greater toxicity of Ivermectin has been substantiated in elderly people despite repeated assertions that an ageing blood-brain barrier might lead to increased Ivermectin toxicity level. The positive clinical experience accumulated with Ivermectin administration led many medical experts to break away from early adamant contra-indications in pregnant women. Finally, several national pharmacovigilance networks around the world released information and opinions to ascertain Ivermectin safety in human subjects. So far, there are no critical safety limitations to Ivermectin prescription in current indications. I also want to point out that no severe adverse event has been reported in dozens of completed or ongoing studies involving thousands of participants worldwide to evaluate the efficacy of Ivermectin against COVID-19.” Astonishing. So what would it take to overdose on Ivermectin? “In order to overdose from Ivermectin, you have to take either a hundred or a thousand times the standard dose,” declared Dr. Kory. “And there have been accidental poisonings where people have taken large amounts. But you know what happens every time? When they take these massive amounts of Ivermectin, it tends to affect them neurologically. They’ll get confused. They might be stumbling — uncoordinated. They go to the hospital, and there’s no treatment required. But within days, the patients return to normal. So, there’s been no life-ending injuries. No deaths reported with Ivermectin. So, that shows you why it’s one of the safest drugs in history, even at massive overdoses. LOL…..100x and you MIGHT overdose? Wow. If you took 100x the normal glass of water, that too could kill you. Literally, that’s true. No, I’m serious….the normal glass of water is 8 ounces, right? 8 x 100 = 800 oz. What would happen if you drank 800 oz of water? It would be life-threatening, according to ChatGPT: Ok, so…to recap: Ivermectin is SAFER than Aspirin and SAFER or on par with Water. AND effective. Incredible. The only thing it isn’t?  Profitable for BigPharma Ahhhh, now you see why they hated it so much. Safe and effective? NOT liked by the FDA: Have you figured out yet that Government is NOT here to protect you? The SEC… The FDA… Pick whatever agency you want — they exist to protect Big Banks (SEC), BigPharma (FDA), and on and on and on…. Now back to Dr. Kory, here is the full interview if you wanted to see it: Pretty powerful stuff! Want some? Keep reading: Need LEGAL and SAFE Ivermectin? Read This! We just reported yesterday that a new leaked report says airlines are looking to BRING BACK MASKS in October. Yes, really. I fully expect a new “planned-demic” will show up right in time for the 2024 election. Oh they might not call it “COVID” again and probably they won’t. But I fully expect a new one to hit. And I’m going to be prepared this time. Whether it comes in the form of a bioweapon or something much more mundane like a tick bite or a Bill Gates’ mosquito – you and your family need to be prepared.

The Republican-led North Carolina state Senate voted to prohibit anyone from wearing masks in public. According to the Associated Press, the proposed legislation would even ban wearing masks in “public for health reasons.” The amended version of House Bill 237 passed in a 30 to 15 party-line vote. BREAKING: North Carolina State Senate has just voted to BAN masks from being worn in public. pic.twitter.com/sXVblIVIQ4 — Ian Jaeger (@IanJaeger29) May 17, 2024 “The controversial bill, which would also increase criminal penalties for those who commit crimes while wearing a mask in public, comes in the wake of protests that have erupted on college campuses across the country in response to the Israel-Hamas conflict,” NC Newsline reports. The North Carolina state Senate voted along party lines Wednesday to ban anyone from wearing masks in public, even for health reasons.https://t.co/wn8DtgMV94 pic.twitter.com/C0GK9vzJI7 — WAVY TV 10 (@WAVY_News) May 17, 2024 From the Associated Press: Opponents of the bill say it risks the health of those masking for safety reasons. But those backing the legislation say it is a needed response to the demonstrations, including those at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill that escalated to police clashes and arrests. The bill also further criminalizes the blockage of roads or emergency vehicles for a protest, which has occurred during pro-Palestinian demonstrations in Raleigh and Durham. “It’s about time that the craziness is put, at least slowed down, if not put to a stop,” Wilson County Republican Sen. Buck Newton, who presented the bill, said on the Senate floor Wednesday. Most of the pushback against the bill has centered around its removal of health and safety exemptions for wearing a mask in public. The health exemption was added at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic along largely bipartisan lines. Democrat lawmakers expressed outrage over the bill’s passage. “It’s unconscionable,” said Sen. Lisa Grafstein (D-Wake), according to WRAL News. “Is it really that you find masked chemo patients that threatening? Something about them makes you really angry? Or is this, more likely, a desire to score some political points with the anti-mask crowd during an election year, at the expense of vulnerable people?” Sen. Natasha Marcus (D-Mecklenburg) questioned. North Carolina state Senate votes to ban all face masks in public, including for medical reasonshttps://t.co/Co2KSC9G5a pic.twitter.com/jw3s47yv1M — The Washington Times (@WashTimes) May 17, 2024 The bill must also pass the GOP-controlled state House before being sent to Democrat Gov. Roy Cooper. WRAL News reports: Democratic lawmakers proposed different ways to amend the anti-mask bill to protect people who want to wear masks for health concerns. Republicans shot each of those proposals down, without explaining their opposition. Sen. Sydney Batch, D-Wake, is a cancer survivor. She spoke about how her husband and children wore masks to protect her while she was undergoing treatment and had a weakened immune system because of it. “This bill criminalizes their behavior, and mine,” she said. “… We talk a lot about freedoms in this chamber. I hear it all the time. I should have the freedom — my children and my husband should have the freedom — to wear masks in order to protect and save my life, without fear of being arrested and charged.” Batch and Grafstein each proposed amending the bill in ways they said would still give police the power that Republicans have said they want, to crack down on masked protesters, but to add back in legal protections for people who wear masks for public health reasons. A third Wake County Democrat, Sen. Jay Chaudhuri, proposed amending the bill to ban hate groups — he specifically mentioned the Ku Klux Klan and Proud Boys — from being allowed to wear masks in public, which the law currently allows them to petition for. His amendment also would’ve required state law enforcement officials do more to track hate groups. Like the other amendments, Republican lawmakers shot it down with no debate or explanation.
